Asia Cup 2023: Mohammad Rizwan Reacts On “India Can’t Play Shaheen, Naseem, Rauf,” Cricketer Adds On, “Not just India but…

After Shaheen Shah Afridi again frightened India’s batters in the Asia Cup Group A encounter in Pallekele, the “They can’t play him” fad was back in style. With the new ball, Shaheen easily removed India captain Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (4) before returning to claim coveted victims Hardik Pandya (87) and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (14) to complete stats of 4/35. Rain stopped play before Pakistan’s pursuit could finish, but there was enough evidence to show that Pakistan’s pacers had the advantage over India’s hitters.

IND vs. PAK, Asia Cup 2023

Pakistan dominated to the point where the phrase “they can’t play him” became popular on social media. After Afridi destroyed India’s top order during the T20 World Cup in 2021, it first came into existence. Shehbaz Sharif, a former

Pakistani prime minister, and Wahab Riaz, a former bowler, both used the phrase on their X (formerly Twitter) accounts.

The Pakistani supporters will be hoping for a recurrence when their team plays India in the Super Bowl on Sunday. When questioned about it prior to the important match, Pakistan’s keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan provided a dignified response.

We would not be where we are today without the contributions of our quick bowlers. And the three quick bowlers we’re talking about will be challenging for every side, not just the Indian top order. They bowl exceptionally well.

When asked about the “they can’t play him” tendency, he told a group of journalists, “And if you look at our bench strength, it is also extremely good, and that is why we have gotten to the top.

Rizwan asserts that India has elite bowlers and would push us

In the group match against India, the Pakistani batters were not given the chance to bat, but according to Rizwan, they are prepared to face India’s elite bowling lineup, which is led by Jasprit Bumrah.

Their hitters haven’t encountered our bowlers very much either. Despite losing early wickets, they managed to score over 270 runs. When their bowlers face off against us, we will likewise have plans in place. India has a strong bowling assault with some of the top bowlers in the world, who will undoubtedly challenge us. But as professionals, we ought to be equipped with the responses, said Rizwan.
